Estelle Getty (born Estelle Scher on July 25, 1923) was Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy's mother on the popular television sitcom "The Golden Girls," which was shown from September 14, 1985 to September 7, 1992.

A famous bearer of the name Estelle is from Great Expectations, the book by Charles Dickens. She is the beautiful woman/girl that Pip falls in love with and the adopted daughter of a mysterious old woman who lives in her past.

In J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" books, Estel, spelled with only one "l" was an Elvish word meaning "hope". When Aragorn was young, dwelling in Rivendell, he was called Estel while his true lineage and name were kept hidden from him.

This is a nice name and has a poetic meaning. My friend's aunt is named Estelle, but she spells it ESTELE and it is pronounced shorter than ESTELLE, kinda like Esther but instead of the 'r' and with the 'l.'

I think this beauty is going to become more popular in the near future. With the trending favorability of names like Elle, Elle, and Stella, Estelle seems like the next logical favorite, and in my opinion, is the most elegant. I think it is gorgeous and could suit a wide range of personalities.

I want to name a girl twin set Estelle and Celeste. I have to admit, I think I like Celeste more, but it goes so fabulously with Estelle!

I'm surprised Estelle isn't more popular nowadays, since "Ella" and "Elle" names, as well as the super-similar Stella, have been very popular recently--not to mention that some old-fashioned names are coming back into vogue. I think Estelle is an old beauty that should be used more than it is. But not too much, of course! ;)

Sweden's Crown Princess Victoria recently had a daughter who will be named Estelle. Princess Estelle was born on the 23rd of February, and her name was announced on the 24th. She will be first in line to succeed the throne after Crown Princess Victoria.
